Pre natal testing.

Thanks so much all the people that emailed me and left comments here about pre natal testing.

We didn't actually see our Ob today. He was called into emergency surgery and had to leave the clinic so my appointment has been changed to tomorrow.

In talking over with Steve about the comments we have decided that if the scan and blood test come back with me as a high risk for a down syndrome baby that I will have a 20 week scan to find out. This link has more information about finding out about down syndrome.

Thanks Jennifer for the ultrasound link.

I think for me personally, I really would prefer to know and be prepared.

First of all CONGRATS on the pregnancy!!!! How have I missed this news??

Secondly, I agree with you about being prepared about the baby before the birth day...it just makes for a smoother transition.

EIGHT is GREAT :) You are awesome, and what a lucky little baby to join a family like yours!

Therese, congratulations!

I am having my morning cup of coffee "with" you and was so excited to see the news of your baby.

Hugs!

You and the baby are in my prayers. God Bless!

Our sons Tom and Christopher and our daughter Amelia are type one diabetics. We pray everyday for a cure. We do not want one by illicit means though so don't support any organisation that contributes to Embryonic Stem Cell Research. Click on the photo of Tom and Christopher to read about why I am against using Embryonic Stem cells for a cure.
